Key Features of Cinema 4D 2025.1.4:
Enhanced Parametric Modeling Tools – New and improved parametric objects offer greater control, including advanced spline editing and interactive beveling.
Advanced Scene Nodes 2.0 – A major update to Scene Nodes introduces a more intuitive interface, expanded procedural modeling options, and real-time performance boosts.
Improved UV Packing and Unwrapping – A completely reworked UV workflow includes automated packing, distortion minimization, and island grouping for better texturing efficiency.
Neural Render Engine (NRE) – Cinema 4D now features an AI-powered render engine that reduces render times by up to 90% while maintaining photorealistic quality.
Real-Time Path Tracing – A fully integrated real-time path tracer allows users to see near-final renders directly in the viewport.
Auto-Rigging AI – Character animation just got easier with an intelligent rigging system that auto-detects joints and optimizes weights instantly.
HoloC4D VR Integration – For the first time, users can sculpt, animate, and render in a fully immersive VR environment.
Redshift Cloud Render – A new cloud-based rendering system allows users to offload heavy render jobs and access high-performance GPU farms directly from Cinema 4D.
Deepfake MoGraph Generator – A new AI-assisted tool that generates realistic face animations from a single image input.
AI-Assisted Material Suggestion – The new AI-driven material engine suggests realistic textures and shader settings based on your scene context.
Spline SDF
Smooh blending of 2D splines.
Outline Capsule
Unlimited number of oulines with the new Outline Node and capsule
Chamferer
The new Chamferer generator brings non-destructive, parametric editing on individual spline control points
Field Distribution Cloner Mode
Fields can now be used to place children instances by mapping the hierarchy of the children to the intensity of the field.
Release Date and Availability
Cinema 4D 2025.1.4 will roll out as a free update for all Maxon One subscribers starting April 1, 2025. Perpetual license holders will have the option to upgrade at a discounted rate.

Exclusive Interview with Maxon’s CEO, David McGavran
Q: What was the main focus for Cinema 4D 2025.1.4?
David McGavran: “Our primary goal was to refine and enhance the tools that artists use daily. We wanted to create a more intuitive and efficient experience, whether it's through procedural modeling, advanced texturing, or improved rendering. The new Scene Nodes 2.0 is a huge leap forward, allowing artists to build complex structures with ease.”
Q: How does this update compare to previous ones?
David McGavran: “While every update brings innovations, this one focuses on practical enhancements that improve workflow speed and creative flexibility. We've also made significant improvements to UV workflows, Boolean modeling, and dynamic simulations based on user feedback.”
Q: Can you give us a sneak peek into the future of Cinema 4D?
David McGavran: “Absolutely. We are already developing features for Cinema 4D 2026 that will push procedural modeling even further. Expect deeper Redshift integration, better scene organization tools, and an overhaul of particle simulations. We're also exploring more real-time collaboration features to make remote workflows even smoother.”
